[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 633687, member: 18284"] PS -- One other quick thought.... When our difficult child threatens to call the police on us (which he has threatened to), we hand him the phone and say, "Go ahead". Once he did call. The police came. We told them the spiel (he refused to go to bed at his normal bedtime and trashed his room to smithereens by midnight....shelves, bookes, clothes, breakables, all thrown all over our upstairs (outside of his room -- he was maybe 12?). Police came, shook their heads, told him to obey his bedtime rules and clean up his mess. difficult child was shocked. Since then, he does not threaten us that way. Not sure if your difficult child does that kind of threatening, Sweet Mama. Sounds like, perhaps, MWM's difficult child did. It is NOT ok to have to walk on eggshells in one's own home -- whether physical, verbal, or emotional abuse. No one (including difficult child's) deserves that. [/QUOTE]
